Bachus

I am british a british chartered architect earning in the low40s.
I have 12 years experience. I pay my own school fees and housing
I have 2 kids at school and i save a good amount each month and we live a good lilifestyle. So not sure what your talking about.

Id be earning more than half my current salaty in the uk after tax.

Again 50-70 is a dream salary for 8 years experience in engineering and if you request 70 they will laugh at you.

Thanks.
